SubscribeFilterLogs: The method eth_logs does not exist/is not available

[thapakazi]

Hello @miguelmota I am following up your awesome book.
My requirement is to read the event log of a Transfer(from, to, value) function. I am using SubscribeFilterLogs for continuous log streaming and updating my other dbs.

But I am little bit stuck head over to this obfuscating error msg:

The method eth_logs does not exist/is not available

I have posted the issuse on slack:golang#ethereum room

I am quiet sure, error is pooping from this line:

ethereum-development-with-go-book/code/event_subscribe.go

Lines 21 to 26 in 0820058

	query := ethereum.FilterQuery{
	Addresses: []common.Address{contractAddress},
	}
	logs := make(chan types.Log)
	sub, err := client.SubscribeFilterLogs(context.Background(), query, logs)

But couldn't figure out why though. The closest google match relation I found is on this thread: ethereum/go-ethereum#310 (comment)

Am I missing something import here. I have just started the websocket with admin.startWS("0.0.0.0", 8546, "*","*") , I am sure, I can telnet to that port.

@thapakazi is ws://127.0.0.1:8546 the url your ethclient is dialing to? If not try that

[miguelmota]

This should work

admin.startWS("0.0.0.0", 8546, "*")

or

admin.startWS("0.0.0.0", 8546, "*", "db,eth,net,web3,personal,web3")

Please reopen if having same issue

Yep it works, thanks.
Lets document this somewhere
